Life
• Written by ZLA
Fuck people lyin',
Fuck people dyin',
I done lived my whole life just to see the light,
I done lived my whole life just to see tomorrow,
I done lived my whole life just to see tonight. X2
Fuck people lyin' -
This the world we in,
I done lived my whole life tryna make it right,
I done lived my whole life tryna find a smile,
I done lived my whole life tryna find a heart,
I'm apart of a dyin' art filled with lyin' artists,
They try they hardest to be the greatest -
They shinin' targets,
When awe gets struck it's a luck driven emotion we seem to channel -
When flannel no longer causin' commotion,
And most men -
Wanna be the new black or what's in fashion,
Imagine a far fetched dream,
My passion -
Shared by many - just attained by a few,
Dreamin' in the clouds - entertained by the view,
Seein' birds fly by - the messenger type,
Shoot 'em right on the spot -
Make sure the message is right,
Cause the world which we live is either fight or it's flight,
Put a bird in my shoes and watch 'em fly like a kite,
Understand that man like me - has issues,
Miscues -
We been through the tissues,
I love you's,
I miss you's,
I get you's,
I got you's,
I had you,
I lost you,
Shit we've been all through -
But I cannot talk to these walls without screamin' right back,
I let down my guard and these Demons attack,
I call you -
You hang up,
The same stuff said last week,
'Cept this time I'm fed up,
You can't even ask me 'bout this girl or that one -
Without lettin' facts run,
You're the only one I see,
That's no L-I-E.
Will I be MVP?
Envy me when my lights go dark,
I dream,
Will I be -
Simply me?
Envy me when my lights go dark,
I see -
The past -
Present -
Future -
Here,
I am -
Looking -
In the -
Mirror.
Fuck people lyin',
Fuck people dyin',
I done lived my whole life just to see the light,
I done lived my whole life just to see tomorrow,
I done lived my whole life just to see tonight. X2
Fuck people dyin',
This the world we made,
I done lived my whole life tryna find a way,
I done lived my whole life tryna hide away,
I done lived my whole life just to die today,
I can't say that the grey in my life is right,
it's the type of sight to ignite the brightened flame inside my brain,
I still remain a slain victim inside this venomous system,
I keep my head up instead of needin' a cane when they kicked 'em -
On the floor,
That's when I heard a knock on my door,
I'm always tired of bein' a lonely sock in the drawer,
My significant other is - lost,
My indignant brother is - lost,
You only come around when your pockets are thin,
I got the key to success -
I keep it locked from within,
